If the FB group is still active, I will be more than happy to offer some tips and guidance to the students there. I am currently a NUS undergraduate and have tutored several NA or NT students in the past, hope to pass some tips along to them!

The true cream of the crop teaching force are able to teach and love N(T) students while the rest hide behind Express classes (cos its easy classroom management and they naturally yield results)

I salute these teachers for have a heart for our N(T) kids.

You can read a commentary on N(T) math here or email me for sample school exam papers for your child.

I'll email you the resources for free in hopes to see your child succeed.

Do message me and i'll reply you asap!

Sorry to dig up an old post, but I know exactly what you mean

I don't teach NT kids in mainstream schools -- I teach in a private setting, in smaller group sizes -- but while I don't practice favouritism, some of my fondest teaching memories are those with NT kids, simply by virtue of how they have different perspectives towards the world around them.

Unable to find Chinese and science for NT. Anyone can share where to get or how to help her revise and practice? I'm also curious to know if any tuition centre offer tuition service for NT

You don't really need an assessment book for NT English since the format is fairly straightforward -- functional writing for Paper 1, and practical tasks for Paper 2. In my experience, once they get the following right, they should ace their English:- Punctuation, grammar and spelling -- because you are automatically one step above everyone else, regardless of stream, if your grammar and punctuation are perfect- Sentence synthesis -- converting a short sentence to a longer one, i.e. multiple clauses, with the correct prepositions and connectives, makes a big difference to readability- Motivation, conscientiousness -- how badly the student wants to score, to be bothered with the checking of his/her work properly

IMO NT kids work best with the right mentors. I've had quite a few NT kids under me over the years, and some of them are really going places <3

Hi, My ds will be starting NT next year. Looking around popular near my place I couldn't find any NT assessment book. Would you share with me which branch you went to ? any recommendation on the books you had went through.

For assessment books, do try Popular @ Bishan, Junction 8 branch. They have NT books for EL and Maths.
